Love is a verb,
conjugated differently depending on its subject,
a treasure box of a word
that holds some cherished object.
When I speak of conjugations
I mean I love differently than he loves,
but we love in the same direction,
holding treasure boxes open.
Love is a noun,
too big to fit in any single poem-
big enough for all the singing,
shining anthologies of heaven.
Too far, too high to submit
to our small earthly powers of description.
Close enough to cover
our deepest darkest direst distance.
